The Spotlight is on Turner Barran
by Brittni Carraway
One of our regular customers, Deputy Turner Barran of Metairie Louisiana, founded the company Barran's Bears. Barran's Bears is a non-profit that provides lovable teddy bears to police, fire, and EMS departments throughout the state so that they can provide a teddy bear to comfort kids at the scenes of domestic violence, car accidents, house fires and other traumatic events.
In celebration of National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work Day, the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office posted a video on their Facebook page showing their partnership with Barran's Bears to have teddy bears in their patrol units to deploy when they meet up with children who are in traumatic situations.
